| Abstract: | This article examines the peace, security and cooperation framework for the democratic republic of congo and the region signed and ratified by all countries of central africa on 24 february 2013 commonly known as the addis-ababa treaty. the analysis done by this article is from a transitional justice perspective as a way forward for a sustainable peace in the democratic republic of congo. it argues that the addis-ababa treaty does not grant much place to transitional justice even if it reminds the need of reconciliation in the dr congo. this treaty does not underline the importance of transitional justice in the peace building process in the drc. thus, among the dr congo's commitments, there are not obligations in terms of truth, prosecutions of international crimes, clemency, reparations and guarantees of non-repetition. |
